Who Can Mayweather Fight Next, and Will Anyone Care?

I have never cared much about Floyd Mayweather. He makes it easy to feel that way.

I want Pacquiao to fight someone who will present him with a challenge and someone who won't crawl up and hide like Clottey.

 

**** off, *******. You had your shot, you blew it, you're out like Tiger Woods' wife.

You played a weak card and I blew your bullsh*t theory up and you're flatlining like Roger after an 8-ball. For your info, Hopkins and Holyfield are still fighting.

You're an ignorant f_cking b*tch.

Ward works with Conte -- that's a huge red flag. A lot more so than your f_cking d*cklicker man-ho Floyd calling out a guy who never worked with anyone suspect in his life. You get it, moron? It's not about race or anything else, it's about who YOU ACTUALLY ASSOCIATE WITH, YOU DUMB SACK OF CRAP.

That is, because your guy calls out someone for no reason at all he's going to be called to account for it. And, so will other guys like Ward who ACTUALLY WORK WITH KNOWN CHEATERS. I could care less what their skin color or background is, unlike you. My point is that no one gets a pass based on anything but the truth.

People like you make me sick. You're so wound-up in your f_cking bullsh*t that you can't see past it. Facts dont matter to you, only you stupid, misguided agenda. And people like Floyd know that, and play you for a fool.

Get out of my face kid. You're a joke.

 

You got served. And I'll be happy to repeat the exercise the next time your clown behind tries again. That's what happens when you throw spitballs at a battleship -- sometimes the battleship fires the canons at you, just because it can.

I want you, for the board, to list the white or European fighters whom you currently admire or root for. You want to try to play this game, let's roll you out and see what you got, kid.

Now, Vitali is an admitted drug cheat, as far as I know. So is Roy Jones. So is James Toney. Not hearing any calls for Jones or Toney to be tested randomly before every fight, are you? Why is that? Do you think it would be racist if Vitali were asked to do random testing but a guy like Roy Jones wasn't?

We want to hear your considered wisdom, "lillarry." Share it with the board. Speak on this, so we all might learn from your Yoda-like wisdom.

Back to me. You say I'm a bigot and don't like black fighters. Let's see if we can dig up the posts, as you ask:

* Paulfv on Shane Mosley:

"Huge Mosley fan here"

* Paulfv on Nazim Richardson:

"Nazim has personality and knowledge, and will give you insights you wont get from anyone else."

* Paulfv on Jean Pascal:

"I really gained a lot of respect and appreciation for Pascal last night, even more than from the Froch fight."
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4313793&postcount=9

* Paulfv on Jean Pascal's victory over Adrian Diaconu:

"What a great night for the sport!"
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=4307154&postcount=3

* Paulfv on Mosley's victory over Antonio Margarito:

"I love Shane and I'm extremely happy for him tonight."
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3314081&postcount=1

* Paulfv on a possible David Haye-Tomasz Adamek fight:

"Pretty much everyone on here knows I'm not a big David Haye fan. That said, he would obliterate either Cunningham or Adamek."
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=3036302&postcount=1

* Paulfv on Roy Jones Jr.:

"He could have gone 'No mas' at any time and simply blamed the cut. But he fought on, even though he has to know every passing minute was painful for his many longtime fans who remember the athletic freak who was RJJ.

That's what it's all about. Never give up, and don't hang your head if you gave your best."

* Paulfv on Evander Holyfield:

"I LOVE Evander"
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=280218&postcount=73

* Paulfv on Mike Tyson:

"the only guy I could actually see winning a best-of-ten series with Prime Tyson is Ali"
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=306177&postcount=71

* Paulfv on a prime-for-prime showdown between Roy Jones and Joe Calzaghe:

"I have to give the edge to Roy because of speed and power"
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=2031455&postcount=35

* Paulfv on a possible Mayweather-Pacquiao showdown:

"I agree with BigReg and southsidegym: The size/length issue makes this a bad match-up for Pacquiao, makes it a lot less likely he can get to Mayweather as Mosley did, and I think Mayweather wins if the two men fight."
http://www.eastsideboxing.com/forum/showpost.php?p=6740298&postcount=21

Etc, etc, etc. All the posts are there, anyone is free to look up my posting history for him- or herself.

This is beyond simple. And I'm actually glad lillarry gave me the opportunity to start rounding-up these various quotes.

It will make things much simpler and more efficient when the next would-be East Side Boxing Al Sharpton comes calling.

It's simple for me, what I like and dislike about fighters:

1. Don't play the hype game if you can't back it up.

- If you pretend you want to fight a Klitschko or go around saying you're better than Ali yet can't seem to sign a Klitschko contract or fight anyone younger than 35, I'll call you out. Doesn't matter who you are or what color your skin is. Ditto on what your nationality is.

2. I like badass dudes who talk with their fists, even if they get beat.

- Hagler, Tyson (who took his beatings like a man), Foreman, Hopkins, Vitali, Holyfield, Chavez, etc. These are "my guys." Same with Margarito, Pacquiao and the like.

Guys like Holyfield and Margarito would fight anyone, anywhere. No ducking, no looking for escape hatches. I love that.

3. I'm not into the Pot-Shotting Posse.

- I never was a Pernell Whitaker fan, even though I can admit he kicked Chavez' ass and I respected his skill.

The great thing is, the Pot-Shotting Posse (PSP) has nothing to do with race or ethnicity. That is, one is not confined to being in its membership because of such factors.

Tomasz Adamek always leaves it all out there. So did Hagler. So did Holyfield. So does Pacquiao. And Duran (except for No Mas).

I can't stand Paul Malignaggi. If I were the supposed KKK member clowns like lillarry try to make me out to be, you'd think Paulie would be my kind of guy. White, smack-talking, Jersey-Shore-Wannabe I-talian.

Can't stand him. Both his mouth and how he fights. If the guy won every fight he ever fought and was the pound-for-pound champion, I'd still feel the same way.

The difference between me and other posters -- and let this be a lesson to the non-American posters who want to understand how race works in American society, because it's everywhere in it -- is that I won't shy away from criticizing a guy because some moron like "lillarry" will play the race card on me for bringing a legitimate point up.

The worst thing you can do in American society is call someone a racist. You don't have to prove they're a racist -- just ask lillarry -- you just have to toss the allegation out there so that, hopefully, the other person will feel intimidated and shut up.

Homey ain't playing that here; I don't fall for such bunk.

If you're a fraud, in my mind, I'll call you out irregardless of what you're background is. There is no "Get Out Of Jail Free" card with me. That ain't happening.

One of the things which is most disturbing, to me, about a guy like Floyd Mayweather is that he plays into negative racial stereotypes, for his fans. The "gangster" shtick; the "Money May" persona.

And they eat it up and fill up Floyd's coffers, just as Team Mayweather hopes.

Sad stuff, but that's the fans' choice.

As Martin Luther King implored, I'm judging fighters based upon who they are and how I perceive them to be as individuals, not as members of a group. That aspect of their identity, to me, is irrelevant, unless one wants to discuss how boxing or other sports are marketed, etc.
